Suns by 10. No fouling out or miracle shots in this one. Suns don't play soft after cruising early.

Yes, that was an awesome game.

Anyone remember the Suns-Bulls 1993 triple OT game in the Finals.

It took three hours and 20 minutes, but Phoenix claimed its first win in the series with a 129-121 victory in triple overtime amid the din of Chicago Stadium. Six three-point bombs by Majerle and the resurgence of point guard Kevin Johnson (AWOL in the first two games) were critical for the Suns. Jordan, who had carried the Bulls through crucial moments in Games 1 and 2, hit just one of 10 shots in the fourth quarter as the Suns roared to a 99-88 lead. But Chicago bounced back with a three-point play by Grant with 1:33 remaining in regulation time to send the game into overtime at 103-103.

Why does Texas Longhorns gets to do the game threads?

Sedale Threatt · Post #8 » by **Sedale Threatt** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 10:53 pm

LOL at Spurs fans -- they just announced on local TV here that they still have 2,000 tickets available for Game 2. :nonono:

Because I'm good.

I like to do them. Maybe the only reason left for me to stay on RealGM.

It happens all the time. They go on about how crazy they are about the Spurs, but you can always get tickets with ease. I know it's a small market, but still. It's not like this team is on one of the best runs in NBA history or anything. Wait...

Continuing on the discussion of was this a top 5 playoff game of all-time, I think it was. It featured a pretty impressive Spurs comeback, neck and neck in the 4th quarter, a big shot by Michael Finley a big shot by Tim Duncan (first 3 of the season), a big shot by Steve Nash, and a big drive by Manu.

Suns take 2 two by 6.

YUP

That was G4 of the ECF in 95... Rik "dunking dutchman" Smits hit the up and under GW shot at the top of the key

One of my favs ever

I feel like PHX just lost the series. I know I'm overreacting, but....

I don't mind you doing them, but the poll just drives me crazy. Is there a new question that could be more relevant and less repetitive. I don't mind the starting post, cause honestly, this is a neutral place, and no one lingers on it. But the poll, just keeps driving me crazy. I swear sometimes I get OCD.

GREAT GAME! I thought Shaq was going to do more in this game but he got into early foul trouble. However, I still think PHX can win this series.

Shaq to Nash: "I Won't Let You Down".
